I have just released a new pattern for some winter knitting and will soon have some other patterns to add to the Sleeping Bag collection.

This pattern was inspired by one of customers who is due to have her baby at the end of the fall and wanted something to keep her little one warm in the winter. We looked a variety of patterns but they weren’t quite right so I set out to make my own.

To make the sleeping bag you need one large skein of about 300 grams of Aran acrylic wool or by 3 smaller 100 gram ones instead. By using acrylic wool you will have a nice stretch in the garment which will potentially last baby a little longer depending on their growth rate.

This pattern will fit a little one with a height of approximately 25 – 27″ with a little room of movement, extra blankets or cuddly toys.

The front of the pattern has three braided cables for decoration and the back has one on each side which leaves the back smooth for better comfort for baby.

The Rice Stitch Is a great textured pattern for beginners and more experienced knitters too. The basics of this textured pattern is all based around the knit and purl stitches and in which combination you use them. In this tutorial I will take you through how to create this stitch both on straight needles/working flat and in the round.

The Seed Stitch (frequently referred to as Moss Stitch) is a great stitch for beginners because you will be using the two basic stitches that every knitter knows: knit stitch and purl stitch. It’s a fantastic introduction to textured patterns and eases new knitters into more interesting patterns and textures.

With Autumn looming around the corner and Winter fast on its way too I decided it was time for a new hat (and to use up some of my stash so I could later by more yarn) and so I came up with this cosy little pattern. By using a DK weight yarn you’ll get a fairly light hat but if you want to get a thick and dense feel then you can easily switch over to a chunkier wool on the same needles to get that effect,
